Kúr, Jiří ; Znoj, Milan (advisor) ; Bíba, Jan (referee)
Liberal democracy is a representative goverment that combines the principles of liberal and democratic. The Bachelor thesis will be devoted to conservative criticism of the political system, which in the days of the Weimar Republic in german enviroment was formulated by Carl Schmitt and Ernst Jünger. The Weimar republic for the time of its functioning, in the period after the World War I and in the 30's, was under pressure from the extreme left and the right, immedidiately threatened its existence. On this critism of the serious crisis of the state responded Carl Schmitt in his work. The key work in this regard is the Concept of Political, which is reviewed by Ernst Jünger. This creates a critical dialogue framed by the German Conservative Revolutionary movement, criticising fragile democracy of the Weimar Republic and the leveling collectivism, the triumf of the masses of the individuals and the common man dictatorship, and the pluralism, which is a direct consequence of the deformation and degradation of parlamentarism. Key words Carl Schmitt, Ernst Jünger, the political, conservatism, nationalism, German Conservative Revolution, The Weimar Republic, crisis of parliamentarism, critique of liberal democracy

Anti-homosexual legislation in Russian territory and it's development
Borůvková, Tereza ; Čížek, Martin (advisor) ; Kolenovská, Daniela (referee)
This work is focused on development of anti-homosexual legislation and conditions of decriminalization in the newly established Russian federation. It is focused on attempts to organize Gay Pride festival in Moscow in 2006 and negative reactions of Russian authorities and subsequent lawsuit. The works informs on change in rhetoric with respect to LGBT community, which was cause by medialization of Gay Pride affair as well conservatism that was being established. It describes Russian conservatism that set itself in contrast to the West by its traditional values, which are in alleged conflict with homosexuality. This development reached its summit in 2013 when anti-propagation law was enacted on federal level. We then focus on immediate reaction to enactment of this legislation and its effects. The work draws from academic articles that appeared after enactment of the act and, and importantly also news articles that could capture ensuing event in real time. It becomes apparent that ostracizing of homosexuals in Russia is a long-term trend that is supported by state controlled news agencies and legislative steps. We explain behavior that is subjected to recently enacted anti-propagation act and reasons for its enactment. In addition, we review how this act is criticized by LGBT activists all over the...

Conservatism and liberalism - an outdated concept?
Pour, Marek ; Vranka, Marek (advisor) ; Lukavský, Jiří (referee)
Conservatism and liberalism in american psychological reasearch is mostly described as unidimensional scale which clearly divides ideology into two opposite ideological standpoints. However, current relevant studies show that unidimensional approach to study ideology is overly simplified. Linking ideological orientation and personal traits seem to bring about contradicting results. In a similar way, relevant psychological instruments for measuring conservatism seem to measure two relatively independent aspects of conservatism. It is apparent mostly from large population studies, that ideological orientation is more complex than it may appear. Specific agendas stemming from their respective ideological directions are for a large part of population relatively uncorrelated with their overall ideological self- identification. Multidimensional models of conservatism and liberalism using at least social and economic agenda therefore seem as a more useful way to describe political orientation for most of the population. Empirical part of the study proposes a partial replication of two relevant studies to test a thesis of similar multidimensionality of the left-right ideological orientation scale in czech population. This could at the same time provide a relevant american-czech comparison.

Traditional Values and Czech Party System
Vaněk, Přemysl ; Novák, Miroslav (advisor) ; Mlejnek, Josef (referee)
Social conservative values are not a frequently voiced topic among Czech politics, but still, there are few parliamentary parties that claim to be conservative. Conservative thinking is very often interchanged with right-wing affiliation, which can lead to ambiguous identification of political subjects. The thesis concentrates on Social conservatism that is placed outside right wing-left wing definition of political parties and tries to analyse its specifics and roots. Social conservatism promotes ethical issues connected with Christian morals. This study analyses these issues and attempts to evaluate their relevance within the Czech society and party system. From the analysis of Social conservative values and individual conservative parties and movements it is clear that Social conservatism does not belong among essential topics for Czech society and politics, even though this way of thinking is still present. The main representative of Social conservatism is parliamentary party KDU- ČSL, which, nevertheless, given to the degree of liberalisation in the Czech society, still enforces the Social conservative values with great care. There are also radical, religiously fundamental voices present, these are, however, not given much space. Declared Social conservatism of some Czech political parties thus more...

Pískačová, Tereza ; Mlejnek, Josef (advisor) ; Brunclík, Miloš (referee)
Projekt Bakalářské práce Jméno : Tereza Pískačová Email : 81359738@fsv.cuni.cz Semestr : Letní Akademický rok : 2020/2021 Název Práce : Komparace britské Konzervativní strany Občanské demokratické strany v letech 2005 až 2016 Předpokládaný termín dokončení : Letní semestr, 2020/2021 Vedoucí bakalářské práce : PhDr. Josef Mlejnek PhD. Základní charakteristika tématu : Konzervativní strany jsou tradičními stranami napříč Evropou, většinou se jedná o strany s velkou voličskou základnou a tudíž disponují velkým vlivem. Conservative Party ve Velké Británii je jednou ze dvou nejsilnějších stran. V roce 2005 se do vedení strany dostal historicky nejmladší vůdce a premiér David Cameron a spolu s ním došlo i ke změně ve směřování strany. Do popředí se dostala sociální politika a také ochrana životního prostředí. V České republice je myšlenka pravicového konzervatismu reprezentována stranou ODS, která vznikla na začátku devadesátých let minulého století v čele s Václavem Klausem. Ten dlouhou dobu určoval směřování této strany a stál v jejím čele řadu let. Václav Klaus je známý svým euroskepticismem a kritikem environmentalismu - jeho vliv na stranu je dodnes patrný. Cílem práce bude porovnat programy obou konzervativních stran a to především v oblasti environmentální politiky, sociální politiky a ochraně tradičních...
